Dragonfly
NB: This is a commissioned book and is nfs.
This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, rose Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Germany, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked stitch pattern that dates back at least to the Ancient Copts. It allows the book to lay open easily to any page.
This book’s endbands are copper and gold silk, and its bookmark is satin ribbon. The book’s spine is covered in red leather, and its boards are wrapped in Japanese silk-screened paper that was printed in a factory where kimonos are decorated.
Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.
The talisman in this book is a token featuring a dragonfly. When dragonflies migrate, they travel only every third day, resting, eating, and gathering strength to move on. They are among the most aerodynamic creatures because they can fly forward and hover, but also fly straight up and down. It takes rest and reflection to navigate the world expertly.
This book is roughly 6.5 x 10” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
